Robert Rodriguez says Sin City 2 has financing and almost a script

I thought that SIN CITY 2 was just going to be one of those announced sequels lost to the wind, but it appears that at long last the project is finally shaping up and is in fact moving forward.

Robert Rodriguez spoke to We Got This Covered where he gave an update on the project:

"Sin City 2 is going good, we’re just finishing the script for that, we already got the money. We have everything we need so we can just start shooting as soon as we get the pages. And it’s the same thing for Machete 2. We’ve already got the budget, just waiting for the script. As soon as we’re finished writing we get to start the shoot."

That sounds pretty imminent, and hopefully SIN CITY comes before MACHETE, although I imagine it would be a little harder to write.

The new film focuses again on three stories, including the "A Dame to Kill" chapter of the original book, and the other two are original stories being written for the film by Frank Miller. The film is said to be shooting in 3D, and from the sound of it, might start pretty soon.

What do you want to see out of the sequel?

Extra Tidbit:

The original is still Jessica Alba's best movie as it actually REQUIRED overacting. And hotness. Obviously hotness.
